Escape?
Tourists of every size and shape
visit the zoo to stand and gape
at lion, leopard, tiger, ape.
They eye its thickness as they gape
at chainlink, conjure up the scrape
of claws on metal, then on nape.
What is their likelihood of escape?
Today’s prompt word is escape.

They never escape, poor wild things forever locked away.

It occurred to me that in the first it wasn’t obvious that she was in a zoo.. and, no bars. I usually use my own photos but was too lazy to go find the lion pic I had, scan it and copy and paste, import and alter.. wearing down..Too many poems today

I love the disparity — it would almost be worth including both shots!

I love the disparity — although I guess you’re right about it not being obvious that she was in a zoo, but it almost would be worth showing both shots.
